For the fabric stash:
Pillowcase my girl made
4/17/2016
Last weekend, my baby girl and I went to my favorite LQS and took advantage of their anniversary sale. I already added those numbers in so we’re good on that end. But my baby girl decided she wanted to make herself a pillow. So we bought her fabric. Since it was for her, I didn’t include these in my numbers and I can’t mark them as used. I didn’t help her with the color choices either. She has a great color sense.
Anyway, after sleeping on it for a week, she decided that the color combo didn’t match the quilt on her bed (currently Scrapitude) or her room in general. So Friday, she made another one to match her quilt. I do not have pictures of that one because she’s still sleeping on it. I’ll try to post a picture when she wakes up. She shopped my stash to make that one! 🙂 So I’ve got a bit used! I’m one thrilled mama to have my baby girl suddenly have a desire to sew. She whipped out her bernette and started sewing. I also let her use my Aurifil for the first time and she absolutely loved it.
Update – Here’s a pic of the new pillow…

So good to hear of a younger generation wanting to sew. And she made 2 lovely pillowcases. You’re moving along on your blocks. Blessings,
Thank you! I’m so happy that she’s doing some sewing.
Yay, maybe a future quilter in the works! Thanks for sharing your pretty projects with Oh Scrap!
Thanks Cynthia! 🙂 I hope so. She has a great sense of color but I don’t want to be too pushy so I’m trying to just back off and let her do as she wants. 🙂 And still help when she wants.
Your Rainbow Garden is GORGEOUS!!!!
Thanks Paulette!
Finally getting around to visiting the Slow Sunday Stitching links…
loving your rainbow garden 🙂
Thanks Kathy!
